For a little while I had this Harbor Breeze Lakeside II in my spare bedroom. I got this fan for free from a driver form my dad's work. I added the downrod myself. But I thought it was a bit overkill in that room with the 6 blades and 5 light kit. So I installed my Off-White/Brass Delta II in there. I got this from another fan collector who does not post here. First I tried the blades that he sent with the fan (which are not original) and my mom (and myself) did not care for them there so I used 4 of the 5 hi-gloss white blades form my 1988 Zephyr. Looks a lot better! A bit of info on the fan. Serial BX28791 (making the fan the 791st unit made on February 28th 1989. Model 14662D. Downrod and canopy supplied by me as the downrod is too long and had no canopy. The upper piece of the motor housing was off of another Delta II that was motor only which I used for parts. The original was a bit bent and wad the same off-white finish. The light kit was supplied by me as well. I think the fan looks great!

Looks great, I'm not a fan of snow white blades with antique white though, not the most appealing combo. Love the ones sent with the fan, but if they don't look good in the room they don't look good.

Actually the finishes match pretty well. If the blades were on the Zephyr I can clearly see the blades are not as bright of a finish as the blade brackets, even after cleaning the dust off of them. I do also like how those wood tone blades look on on the fan. If that room was tan it would look better with it but being pink the white blades look best.

I guess your blades are somewhat yellowed, I do realize that now that I think back to the blades on the snow white fan. In that case I bet the finishes do match pretty well, those blades do turn antique-whitish when they've been exposed to lots of light.

4 blade only or 4/5 blade? It has a 4/5 blade flywheel, but the fan only came with 4 blades.
